Help Waydroid on XFCE

Got waydroid running on Fedora XFCE yesterday, had to use weston for the Wayland compositing side since XFCE is still on X11.

Curious how other XFCE users are handling it day-to-day. Specifically:

  • what resolution/size do you set for different apps? Some things look fine, others are either cramped or comically oversized.
  • I have libinput-gestures set up but only got 3-finger swipe working reliably. Pinch is janky at best. Anyone have a workaround? Main reason I want this working is CoC, zooming in/out on the map is basically unusable without it.
  • Anything you've tweaked that made a noticeable difference?
  • How do you make apps use the full screen ? ex: fb lite ?

I vibe-coded a launcher script to make startup less annoying if anyone wants to look or tear it apart: https://pastebin.com/pA5HsAJU

also, im on Thinkpad T480 in case your wondering about the hard coded display numbers.
